Flash videos: bad quality? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Using the phone to see some flash web sites, I have noticed that the videos have a extremely low quality. They are pixelated and like ultra low bitrate, but when I see on a comp they plays fine, high quality and no pixel.
Is this a thing of flash mobile, this phone or can I configure this to get flash movies with a full quality like a normal computer?

Yes I have noticed the bad quality of flash videos on my phone compared to the desktop. When I look at flash animations on newgrounds they are horrible quality compared to my desktop, which has smooth vectors and no texture added.

Dont know about flash animations but I have tried watching a youtube video with desktop useragent quality set to 1080p and it looked pretty darn great.

I agree with the bitrate on some flash videos. I've also noticed that if you upgrade to Flash 10.3, horizontal lines/banding artifacts occur in flash videos from the BBC (iplayer), which when paused look like significant MPEG artifacts. Youtube seems fine with 10.3 but haven't tested any others (uninstalled back to 10.1).

Hi,
Me too I have experienced this since I got my phone . I did not test with flash 10.2 maybe it was since I installed flash 10.3.
Is anybody able to test the before and after updaring to 10.3.
I notice lines, heavy colour banding and pixilated video and this is just with youtube.com.

grainy video on alpha 3

Tried rockplayer lite and mobo,both play my avi videos as very grainy. Video wasn't all that great before, but it seems worse. Anyone else getting this? They play fine in webos
Try mxplayer. Plays 720p video beautifully.

Tried it. Still grainy. Thx though. Codex didn't help. Installed the arm7. Is that right?

What video format are your 720p videos in?
mxplayer seems to fall over on hardware rendering of mkv files and is fairly slow when rendering 720p mkv in software mode.
Edit: Actually I tried it again and its better than I remembered in software mode when rendering 720p mkv, although I think Ive overclocked it since I last tried and upgraded to Alpha 3. It is grainy though in software mode.
One thing I cant figure out is how to easily get back to the list of movies once a movie starts to play. Any tips there? The only way I seem to be able to do it is to set "playback complete action" in the preferences to "Quit", and then fast forward the movie right to the end, it will then send me back to the list of movies but that seems a clunky way to do it.
I also cant seem to back out of the subtitle selection if I attempt to turn off or change the subtitle language once in a movie, I can select a different subtitle language but it doesnt seem to let me out of the subtitle menu.
Edit 2:
Seems I had my status bar set to turn off when full screen apps asked for it. That means I couldnt see my home/back/settings button whilst playing a movie. Fix was to go into CyanogenMod settings and "Tablet tweaks" then ensure that "Disable Fullscreen" was ticked.
This now allows me to back out of Subtitles menu box and also enter movie selection and settings whilst playing a movie. Im not sure if this was a setting I had previously turned off or not or whether its the default to have it unticked.
shorttrip86 seems to have found a fix : (Fix) Found Working Video Player For Cm7 Alpha 3
It's a test build of MX Video Player.
Tried the Mx video file from that link up there. Its definitely better,but still very grainy compared to kalem player in webos. The videos I'm trying to play were made using PSP movie Creator. The dimensions are small so the quality on the videos is not that great and the only reason I'm even trying to find a fix is because its porn lol
LOL!
In this case, just watch it on webOS or download another...
I just went back to 2.1

Clipped white with videos outside flash

Sorry if this has already been reported by I tried all kind of searches and nothing comes up, but I am really surprised that I did not see anyone report this...
Here is what I found: when playing videos in apps like the Youtube App, Vimeo App or the Android embedded video player in the browser, the whites are clipped, meaning the bright parts of the image become completely white and all details are lost.
I verified this by playing the same video in both the Youtube app and then in the flash player on youtube site in the stock browser (by requesting the desktop version of the page). Same test with Vimeo app, same result. When played in the flash player, the contrast is fine and the bright parts are not blown out.
This is really annoying, all videos look way too contrasty and bright ! Even when setting the screen brightness to minimum the same thing happens, no matter what power mode I choose. Seems to be a problem with the Hardware Video codecs maybe ?

I don't have this issue but for some reason YouTube videos barely work on many prime. It plays for 2 seconds then buffers its not even a wifi issue because my wifi is fine i noticed my partners touchpad w/ ICS wont even play these videos as well. Is YouTube not compatible with ICS?

Me too!!! My prime arrive Friday and the first thing I do was the update. Then i won't play any video from stock or other browser. Just a white or gray screen appears.

[Q] I need help (think my galaxy is broke)

I'm new to android and android hardware. My question is that when I play YouTube app I never get hd quality (not crystal clear) videos. The screen is kinda of snowy. I did a test on multiple videos 360p, 720p, 1080p all the same. Also when I tested a mkv file on the system sd it plays back kind of skippy and not crystal clear 1080p. Is my note defective ? Or what ? It's stock rom I don't know how to root. Thank you
Take it back and get a new one, you're well in the 30 day return window.
also do a speed test to see what your net speed is because it will scale your video back if your streaming over 3g at low speeds. 1080 requires atleast 6mbps connection. otherwise it will lower it for you.
I did a speed test and I'm getting 35down 8up wifi. also Netflix doing the same. Everything else works but I'm just not getting hd quality video
Have you tried to have the screen on the upper right corner and tap on the hd button?

On my device hd youtube videos look pretty good, its flash movie videos on certain websites that look a little weird...like panning flashes slightly happening on blacks, not so much macroblocking.
The Note display isn't 1080p, it's actually WXGA, just a little taller than 720p.
Also there is the well-known issue of dark scenes being blotchy with videos. This has been documented in the Int'l version too.
And +1 to the suggestion to press the "HQ" button. Also be sure the video is offered in HD. Try this video and don't forget the HQ button which you can only see if you tap the screen.

also make sure u turn up the brightness. if you have it set low that will cause some of this
Does Netflix show hd content on the android?
That video is super choppy and pixelated for me over wifi.
Wonder what the Deal is?

This video looks just amazing on my Note!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP90fQab86Q
What you described happens in YouTube and Netflix. The hq is on as always
I never saw any kind of problems streaming with the Galaxy s, Galaxy S2 and with my recent one the Galaxy Note. It looks even better on the note crystal clear (Youtube, Vevo and Netflix), try to compare it with another Note to see if your device is defective. And regarding the .mkv playback, it was a little choppy on all devices so i think is more hardware performances don't forget those still smartphones not computers.
I've also noticed that the "HD" option isn't so HD. Even at home over wifi with 20/20Mbit, it's still quite blocky. I'm convinced that the youtube app is the problem and does not actually pull the 720p or 1080p versions even if they are available and you select "HD" with a connection that can support it. I don't know what resolution it does pull -- some kind of hybrid maybe, where it's 720p but at a much lower bitrate? It looks 'decent'/better than without "HD", but movement scenes are horribly blocky compared to what they could be.
I've verified that it's the youtube app itself (and the mobile version of their website too btw) by opening the stock browser, navigating to www.youtube.com, scrolling down and opening the Desktop version of the site, searching/selecting the same video, hitting the cog when it starts playing to change resolution to 720p/1080p (just as you would on a desktop), and then going full screen. It plays fine, and the video quality is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the youtube app (and mobile site as well I believe) when doing this. Much less blockiness, especially on scenes with a lot of motion or blacks. It's really annoying, because it is inconvenient to open videos in the browser this way, yet the quality is worth it. I wish there was an app available that allowed for better quality. I want to choose the "desktop version" of 720p without going to the desktop website.

I did a test with alot of videos and Some mkv files. It seams to me also that the apps for galaxy note are not streaming in hd.the mkv files on my sd card play stunning hd video. Netflix is the same way and many others like vevo etc... I get to say the least vhs quality video streaming on 4g lte or 50/8 speed 5ghz N Wifi. Why is this happening? does it occur in the international version? Also in some YouTube playbacks with a dark scene I see lines going across the screen? Does it happen to any of you guys also?

Galaxy S 3 can't handle video..?

Okay so I didn't really think I would have this problem with this phone. I put a mkv video on my phone and I went to go watch it but it stutters I'm not sure how to explain it but it's really choppy. It doesn't complete freeze though. I was using this in the stock video player. This was because I wanted to try pop up play. So I was bummed that I couldn't use the stock player which is the only one that does pop up play. So I tried mx player but it also has the same problem playing back the video. Wth can the s3 not handle mkv videos? I didn't have this problem on my note. Does anybody else have this also? Is there a fix or something? The screen is beautiful but it's not smooth playback its too choppy.

Need more information. MKV is a container codec, not a video or audio codec. What is the video and audio codec, and is it using something like 10bit color?

I've seen that happen on Epic Touch with most mkv format videos.
Try RockPlayer.
Yeah I was also having problems with certain video files. A couple of .m4v's that I tried to put on my phone would crash the video app if I put in or pulled out my headphones while the video was playing. Seems to be isolated to particular file types/codecs.
what is the res of the video you are trying to watch. what is the actual video codec on it and are there subtitles?
You could try VLC for android:

Try something for me , connect phone to your PC thro USB , and then try playing video on your phone , report results ?
I'm not sure how to see what is the actual video and audio codec, how do i check it?
The video files are mkv 720p blu ray rips.
I tried connected my phone to my pc via usb and tried playing video like you said and i couldnt really see a difference.
I think we need to wait for the video player app developers to produce extensions that work with or provide true hardware acceleration for our new hardware, the best player I've found right now for the GS3 is BSplayer lite.
Ironically BSplayer gave me the worst performance on the GS2.
anyway try BSplayer lite on your GS3.
720p bluray rips will kill most portable devices they are MUCH higher bitrate than a standard 720p movie. you need to downsize them if you want to play them smothly
Try MXplayer with their ARM7 codec pack.

I just converted a bluray movie down to 1280x536 with Handbrake and it plays like butter.

I also experienced problems with the 720p .mkv files I ripped my blurays to for portable use - but moreso with sound being out of sync with the video. I had the same problem with my GS2 when I upgraded to 4.0. I re-ripped my whole collection using the same compression rate into .mp4 and they all play flawlessly now. Anything I have that is .mkv simply doesn't play nice on both my GS2 and GS3 with 4.0.

MKV is not a codec...it's just a container format like AVI.
From my experiance/experimenting biggest culprit is always "stagefright" being enabled , screws up hardware decoding on many levels. On my ATT GS3 , it was enabled by default, i could not play my 720p 60fps music videos , i got "Blade Buddy" it lets you mess with some system settings easily (however i dont know witch setting specifically triggered it), after messing with it and doing soft reboot , my GS3 now performs as it should , can play even higher then 720p , latest one i tried was 1440x810 @ 60fps High profile H264 , all smooth and nice , [email protected] was to much though , all common <=30fps videos play problem free.
In Blade Buddy under Basic settings i toggled off "Compatibility Mode"
Under Advanced settings i toggled off stagefright , then hitting menu button clicking apply , and selecting soft reboot.
There must be something wrong with your setup or codecs or i dont know what because i have a NAS and i STREAM 720p blu-ray rips of about 5gbs a movie off my HDD attached to my router, i stream them and get 0 lag, even when i advance the movie, it takes 1/4 of a second to buffer and play the movie, and again i get 0 lag. i use BS player Lite
so its not the phone, trust me
I have played mkv videos and I have no problem ... the video format is hd 720 mp4
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
So it seems that some people can play 720 blu ray rips just fine with no problem while others can't and need to change the format. I find this rather odd. I haven't tried streaming these videos but ill try and report back but I think it would be worse because if it can't handle playing from the device the added pressure of streaming would make it worse. Somebody mentioned audio being out of sync, I don't have that problem at all. And it's not like the video is severely laggy its like it plays but it stutters as it goes to the next frame its so hard to explain ill see if I can record it and show you guys.

for a 720p bluray rip/hd rip movie, i still run it through handbrake to get the file size down. i set res to 1280xtakewhatevericanget from the original source. output as mp4 in that case (still h.264). i tend to crank the audio up a bit too, since it helps on airplanes or whatever with movie dialogue.
i haven't really tried dragging over a full on 4+gb 720p blu ray rip .mkv file...then again mtp sucks ass, so i'll do anything i can to get file size down.

Fat32 maxes out with 2GB files.
it's not the mkv that's causing it's issue, it's what's inside the mkv that's causing the problems. not just codec but bitrate and other small things could matter. Also, if it's software and not hardware like the ipad, even if meets the criteria hardware wise, it can cause an issue.

hevc h265 10bit hdr files

i have a bunch of hdr 4k hevc 10bit 60fps demos for the tv .. i tried them on the pocophone internal media player (software miui version 9) and these demos played flawless with correct colors
i found an update for miui 10 .. so i updated and i wish i didnt .. now the hevc files are stuttering and has washed out colors
i installed 8.11.15 beta rom today and that fixed youtube hdr color issue but still hevc files played at internal media player stuttering
these files plays flawlessly on note 8 and xz2 which is sd 835 ???!!!!!
so any hints ?!!!! i also tried multiple 3rd party apps like vlc and mx player and they showed correct colors but they are stuttering
so any hints here ?! can i return to miui 9 without unlocking boot loader ?!!
do anyone have explaination for the stuttering on such strong cpu and gpu ?!

here is the demo
https://4kmedia.org/the-world-in-hdr-uhd-4k-demo/
please try it on file manager player and on mi video player
using the file manager media player the file plays well with minimal stutter at 8.11.15 but washed out colors .. before on miui 9 it worked flawlessly with correct colors
mi videos on the other hand play the video with correct colors but it feels like the file is played at 30 fps with lots of stutters not 60 fps
you can always compare this file to the hdr youtube video with the same name
there is larger files and bigger bit rates and they should work flawlessly but this file is the smallest in size
@mustafa811
Played the file in diff players
1. File manager played with washed out colours
2. MiVideo, photos, xplore video player and vlc all played the file with correct colours, not sure about the stutter though , video looked quite smooth.
Can't take screenshots or screenrecords of hdr videos so cant post anything.

I'll try new videos when I get home. I played the first clip. It's definitely 60fps in MX player, the smoothness is unmistakable. I tried in SW mode and it played very slowly with washed out colours.
Tried es file manager media player, it played at 60fps without washed out colours
Tried file manager player, it played at 60fps with washed out colours.
Are you sure you are using HW+ mode in MX and your phone isn't in power saver mode?
Playing a 60fps video at 30fps is actually difficult for phones as it may ask for more computing power. In case phone can't keep up with the 60fps video, we get dropped frames.

i thought i almost tried all the 3rd party media players but i never thought if es file manager could have its own player
the es player is excellent it has a few dropped frames every while other than that it plays in 60 fps .. it is the best player right now that can play hevc files with minimal stuttering and correct colors
i am waiting for the alleged 8.11.29 update .. on 8.11.15 touch is a bit better than miui 10.0.6.0 but youtube hdr is not wotking correctly .. i eish there is a firmware that could address touch issues ,youtube hdr and hevc file playback
but i think now after trying lots official roms and updates there is a hardware problem with the touch and it is non fixable whatever they do .. writing with keyboard is not flawless as other phones
i use tempered glass i am thinking of removing it as a last resort
thanks again lockhrt for your contribution
